Which of the following is not part of the Calvin cycle?

ATP production

CORRECT

Fixation of carbon dioxide

0

Regeneration of RuBP

0

oxidation of NADPH

0

addition of light

0

Explanation

ATP is produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis by photosystem II. Carbon dioxide is fixed by combining with RuBP during calvin cycle. NAPDH donates electrons causing it to be oxdized to NADP+.
